The Story of a Friend Lyrics

Here come the kings
They have a war as their plan
We all need truths, yet not a savior

Here is your purpose
Where are your brains
We all need truth, yet not nothing

I live to tell
The story of a friend
I tell it well
I live to tell
The story of a friend
I tell it well
Yes, I tell it well

Look at you friend
You got blood in your hands
Wipe the pain
And the tears from your eyes

Out of the breeze comes a soul that you need
And you hadn't sent them to die
You're not alive

Cut off your hands
pull out your tongue
See what you've got
You got strange plans

Here is your purpose
Where are your brains
I've got a friend
but he has no name

I live to tell
The story of a friend
I tell it well
I live to tell
The story of a friend
I tell it well
Yes, I tell it well

Look at you friend
You got blood in your hands
Wipe the pain
And the tears from your eyes

Out of the breeze comes a soul that you need
And you hadn't sent them to die
You're not alive
You're not alive
You're not alive

I live to tell
The story of a friend
I tell it well
I live to tell
The story of a friend
I tell it well
Yes, I tell it well

Here come the kings 
They have a war as their plan
We all need truths, yet not a savior

Here is your purpose
Where are your brains
We all need truth, yet not nothing

I live to tell
The story of a friend
I tell it well
I live to tell
The story of a friend
I tell it well
Yes, I tell it well

Look at you friend 
You got blood in your hands
Wipe the pain 
And the tears from your eyes

Out of the breeze comes a soul that you need
And you hadn't sent them to die
You're not alive

Cut off your hands
pull out your tongue
See what you've got
You got strange plans

Here is your purpose
Where are your brains
I've got a friend 
but he has no name

I live to tell
The story of a friend
I tell it well
I live to tell
The story of a friend
I tell it well
Yes, I tell it well

Look at you friend 
You got blood in your hands
Wipe the pain 
And the tears from your eyes

Out of the breeze comes a soul that you need
And you hadn't sent them to die
You're not alive
You're not alive
You're not alive

I live to tell
The story of a friend
I tell it well
I live to tell
The story of a friend
I tell it well
Yes, I tell it well

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
